Windows 7 x64 will not see a Eufi hard drive (win 8 ) when hooked up as an external drive

Windows 7 x64 will not see a Eufi hard drive from a win 8 box When hooked up as an external drive

We are trying to add this windows 8 hard drive ( eufi ) to a windows 7 x64 computer for a backup of the windows 8 drive + Virus scan. Bios of the windows 7 will see the windows 8 hard drive but windows 7 will not see it ( drive not found within the disk management )

when I add the windows 8 hdd to the windows 7 box (sata) I can see the drive within the bios of the windows 7 box but windows 7 will not see it - drive not found within Disk Management of the 7 box.

I hope I am making sense here

Thanks

windows 7 Disk Management can see it's own drive - the win-8 drive is not listed at all

yes, I have four more I can try .. all windows 7 x64 and I connect internally via Sata from the m.b. and not some aftermarket controller. I assume the current idea is to try the win-8 drive on the other 4 windows 7 boxes to see if it will work on one of them I will do so here in a few min.

Thanks
